I keep getting this error every time I run sudo apt-get update and also I'm getting a red notification in the top right of my computer that says my

update information is outdated

This is the result of update command:

Fetched 132 kB in 3s (42.5 kB/s)
W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Try this command for 64 Bit Linux:

sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list"

This error is because google has stopped support for chrome 32bit for linux. There is two solution for this problem:

  1. Remove chrome and use chromium or some other browser(If your are running in a 32 bit os)

  2. Add Chrome 64 bit ppa(If you are using 64 bit os)

    sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list" "/opt/google/chrome/cron/google-chrome"

  • First of all, uninstalling an app and replacing it with something else, is not answer but a suggestion. Secondly, what you gave as an answer was given by @Ashu here 11 hours ago. What was your aim for repeating it? – Mostafa Ahangarha Mar 11 '16 at 14:43
  • @MostafaAhangarha I suggested the first answer because there is no other solution than that if you are using 32 bit. The second one beacuse i wanted my answer to be complete. I was not aware that part of answers should not repeat – Mohit Rajan Mar 12 '16 at 01:27
